ON THE SHORE.
fArgosy.l

Which light the waves OF the purple sea,
Near the crystal river, the pearly gate.
! know you are watching and waiting
for ME.
Not weary, not fearful. for time with you
Is never measured by lingering years,
And the golden points On the dial's face
Are numbered by smiles, and not by tears.
Tonight, as walk on the lonely shore,
And list to the monrnful surges' beat,
l think of the music that falls on your ear,
Of the beautiful blossoms that lie at
your feet.
And It's Joy to know that no grief Of mine
Can darken a brow SO bright and fair
Yet | sometimes fancy my spirit can feel
A gleam from the glorious radiance there.
a boat will lie shortly on yonder wave,
The boatman be drawing toward the
shore;
His call of warning / soon shall hear,
And the soft, low splash of his ready
oar.
He will bear me safely, his arm is strong,
Till the walls of the golden gate / see !;
And when l reach it, your task is done
There is no more watching and waiting
for me.

The Hillsboro Res0rder suggests
that Col. VIM. L. Saunders, at present
Secretary of State, would make most
valued member Of the United States
Senate to succeed Cen Ransom. That
he would. He has the ability and
knowledge of affairs which fit him to
adorn such position. BY the way,
the people are casting about good
deal in search of a man to succeed
Ransom. 1t is not a difficult matter
to find man possessed of the requisite
qualifications; but the httest man is
the trouble.-Graham Cleaner.

Creole Dainties.

New Orleans Letter.
Our women shonld learn to prepare dainty
confections at home instead of paying such
enormous prices for imported manufactures.
There is no reason why we should pay the Turk
for his preserved rose leaves and the Frenchman
for his crystalzed volets, when roses and violets
grow in profnsion all around Crystallized
voiets are by no means SO difficult to manu-
facture as the large price asked for Them would
Indicate. The following directions for preparing
them are simple and practical: Take large,
fresh blue violets-the double ones are thu
best; boil tkem short time in water; take
them out with large skinner, and drain them
carefully. To pound and half of blossoms.
allow two and a half pounds of sugar. Make
syrup of this with small teacup of
Boil it and skim it well. Put in the violets and
boil ten minutes more. watching closely lest the
blossoms should become discolored. Take them
from this sirup and drain them in a sieve. To
one pound of loaf-sugar put half a teacup of
water; set 1t over a moderate fire and boil. Skim
it, and when it has boiled, put in the violets;
stir continually until the sugar graduates, then
take them up and dry in warm oven. Rose
leaves can also be crystalized by this method.
Most satisfactory of all creole essences is that

a glass-stoppered jar and fill the jar with cook

leaves can be made until the jar is full, and you

Domestic Songs of the Period.

Boston Musical Herald.
Those who are responsible for that wonderful
product of our times--the popular domestic song
appear to have a deep seated prejudice against
husbands and fathers, whom they invariably
represent as haoitual drunkards and reprobates
of the deepest dye. On the other hand, when
the gentler sex are dealt with. the eulogstic
tone adopted is only exceeded by the common
place and humiliating character of the music.
"Songs About Mother" multiplied with
marvellous rapidity, and the maternal excellences
are fully set forth in the most Mandatory terms.
While a dweller earth, she is invariably pict-
ured as the embodiment of all the virtues, and
on her death is translated to the home beyond
by q son daughter of musical tendencies, fol-
lowed by an appeal, Mother, meet me at the
beautiful gate" ETC.
The unfortunate father, however, is not
deemed worthy of such tender treatment He
is generally pictured as frequenter of a drunk

has come to fetch him home, appealing to his
sense of duty thus, Father, dear father, come
